I’m struck by the Trump administration’s attempt to redefine equality as discrimination against white people. This is a deeply racist idea that equal outcomes must be unfair, assuming white people are naturally at the top of the hierarchy. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/11/c...

U.S. Representative Jamie Raskin is encouraging all U.S. citizens to join him this week in filing formal demands for access to their personal data obtained by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and Elon Musk. Citizens need only fill out the form and mail it in to DOGE. 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Proud of my daughter who stood up for science today. She’s graduating from college in a couple months, with a degree in environmental science- biology, and looking for a job in a profoundly changed market. So many senseless losses caused by Musk/Trump.

I can’t imagine the stress these fine scholars are enduring. No justification for this malicious action against our best and brightest. None. Fulbright has just suspended payments to students in the middle of their commitments leaving them stranded abroad www.financialexpress.com/business/inv...

We spent nearly 8 minutes this morning trying to set the record straight on a number of health matters. I’d expect the Surgeon General or NIH Director to do this, but since they’re not, here it is in 4 clips. #medsky

HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT? Maybe literally one fucking American newspapers could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened yesterday.

The flu is deadly, and this year's season was particularly so. There is no good reason not to have a flu vaccine next year. People will die because of this, and it will be RFKJr's fault. #publichealth #vaccines

Measles guidance provided by RFK Jr. includes information about administering vitamin A to measles patients, so I wanted to share this helpful graphic from the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases. Vitamin A alone does not prevent measles. Vaccination does. @nfidvaccines.bsky.social

Join former Congressman David Skaggs and others on Monday at 11:45am in Boulder as we protest these cuts to NOAA. These scientists and highly educated and accomplished professionals are our neighbors. We will stand up for them, to protest these illegal, dangerous and senseless firings.

It kills me that there's enough for everyone. Enough food. Enough housing. Enough medicine. Enough money. Enough everything. It takes active choices to stop everyone from having enough so a very, very few can have far too much.

Everyone knows what happened here. Trump can only exist around people he can causally humiliate. Guys lie JD and Rubio. He wanted to do a ritual humiliation of Zelensky and Ukraine but Zelensky wouldn’t accept that and so Trump reacted like a stung bitch.

I can't think of a faster way to undermine the country than simultaneously firing government workers, cutting scientific research, rolling back protections on public health & environment, & cutting essential services. It's like the US was defeated in war and is being occupied by a hostile enemy.

I’m ashamed that my country stood with Russia today, betrayed Ukraine and destroyed whatever trust the world had in us as an ally. And to make it worse, my CO senators voted on the same day to support Trump’s nominee for Sec’y of the Army. Shame. Shame on you.

@michaelbennet.bsky.social Why are you supporting any Trump nominees?!?! Today, the US stood on the world stage and allied ourselves with Russia, North Korea, and other authoritarian nations against Ukraine. You should be ashamed. 🇺🇦

This period under Musk/Trump feels like early February in 2020—when a terrible thing was happening with breakneck speed, and the people paying close attention were hair-on-fire about it while the rest of the country carried on as normal.

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]
